Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesMachine coffee is not nearly as good-tasting as fresh- made. That was the only complaint for me, although you could have as much as you wanted.
Nice size room, very friendly and helpful staff, right across from castle and moat, very nice breakfast, very close and easy walk to restaurants, sights, and shops. Street parking was close by, and only cost 5 euros/day. We were able to drive into the area in front of the hotel to unload and load our bags. Great communication and directions.

CanadaWe had been staying in 5-star hotels and so you could tell the difference between a 4 and 5, but we would say we enjoyed the hotel overall. Breakfast a bit disappointing, nothing special.
Location was great for exploring the old city, around the corner from the cathedral and smack in the middle of the medieval fortress. Room was large enough for us. Unique decor and lobby.

NetherlandsSlightly unpleasant was the loud music in the breakfast room, which does in our view does not enhance the atmosphere during breakfast. Unfortunately this is quite common in hotels these days. No coffee machine in the room. But that took us quicker to the breakfast which was excellent. So actually not a problem.
Location is very good, in the centre, no cars (except to bring and take your luggage). Room was excellent. Breakfast had really a lot of original items, very tasty and diverse, next to standard. That is really a big bonus.

GermanyReally nothing to complain about, very pleasant stay, absolutely to recommend!
The property is less than 20 minutes on foot away from the train station and is located in the very center of Ferrara, just in front of Largo Castello. The staff was extremely helpful and was so kind to book for us a table in one of the nearby restaurants the same evening. The property is quite modern both in public spaces and rooms. The room was very spacious (though, the bathroom was relatively small), with an aircon, a small fridge (minibar, basically), and a tall mirror. The breakfast was, on one side, limited (e.g. no fruit yoghurts), but on the other side - there was a HUGE selection of dried fruits, seeds, nuts, and so on. Plus a decent selection of pastry, cheeses, and other "traditional" breakfast dishes. In addition to "regular" drinks (like juices, tea/coffee), there were non-standard breakfast drinks like lemon-herbs water and similar. Last but not least, there was honey straight from hive frame!

From the first step in the entrance door .... WOW 👌... this is undoubtedly one of the best EU / Italy boutique hotels we have ever stayed in ... very friendly staff, very clean, and more importantly, meeting ALL SrevQuality principles ... it they marketed and precevid by us ... is what we received and what was expected ... then came the unexpected ... the breakfast, support to park in the old town, and the FAMILY atmosphere.. the owners are the day to day staff you interact with, and every question or needs is quickly dealt with ... THE WOW, MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US IN OUR TRAVELS ... even our next location, which is very good, does not match the Hotel Annunziata in Ferrara, Italy.
